A royal expert believes Queen Elizabeth II is preparing everything for Prince Charles’ reign. She is said to be “laying the groundwork” for the next person in line for the British Throne.
Speaking to Express UK, royal author Ian Lloyd explained that the British Monarch is “supremely popular” among the U.K. public. However, she does not reportedly want the monarchy to “come crashing down” when she goes.
The expert also stated that she does not want a “vacuum where people do not know what is going to happen, and then [the Prince of Wales] comes along as an elderly man.” He added that the Heir Apparent is no PR dream because of his age.
